easy solution - dont pay for a firewall or antivirus... look up AVG for antivirus or ZoneAlarm for a firewall.  Some say they are better than the ones you pay for... that and you could get yourself the anti-spyware programs which are free... Spybot Search & Destroy and/or Ad-aware.  My computer is running fine using all of the abovementioned programs...

In every stone sleeps a crystal.
Remember the Shaman, when he used to say:
Man is the dream of the Dolphin"
